UTV reporter Jimmy Robinson meets with Mrs Margaret Donnelly of Ballymena to discuss her win on the football pools. In the days before the National Lottery, the football pools (where you would attempt to predict score draws in the weekend's football fixtures) was the favourite method of having a weekend gamble with the incentive of huge cash prizes. In the same way that people who wouldn't gamble on things like horse racing would spend a little each week on the lottery, the pools offered the same opportunity.

The report doesn't say how much Mrs Donnelly won and only asks her what her plans are for spending the money - with her pet bird whistling in the background. However, newspaper reports from the time reveal that her winnings on that week's Littlewoods Pools were a princely £18,184. A sum not to be sniffed at today, but in real terms and adjusted for inflation it would be the equivalent of £324,000. Mrs Donnelly says that she had been doing the pools for over twenty years and it certainly paid off in the end.
